Senate File No. 1195 is a legislative bill that aims to modify individual income tax rates in Minnesota. Here’s a simple breakdown of the bill:

  1. Tax Brackets Altered: The bill outlines new income tax rates for different income brackets for married couples filing jointly, unmarried individuals, and heads of household. These rates include:

    • A tax rate of 5.35% on the first segment of income for all groups.
    • Higher income brackets face progressively higher rates, topping out at 9.85%.
  2. Tax Bracket Amounts Adjusted: The specific amounts of income that fall into each tax bracket are adjusted, presumably to reflect current economic conditions or fiscal policy goals.

  3. Resident and Non-resident Tax Calculations: For individuals who are not Minnesota residents for the entire tax year, their Minnesota income tax is calculated based on their Minnesota-source income relative to their total income.

  4. Special Rules for Part-Year Residents and Non-residents: This includes adjustments and subtractions specific to Minnesota taxation, ensuring that part-year residents and non-residents are taxed appropriately based on their Minnesota-sourced income.

  5. Additional Provisions for Qualifying Business Owners: For those who own a qualifying entity (likely a business) and choose a specific tax election (as mentioned under section 289A.08), there are specific instructions on how they should calculate their Minnesota income tax considering their business income.

In essence, this bill is designed to update and specify income tax rates and rules for different groups of taxpayers in Minnesota to align with updated fiscal strategies and economic circumstances. The adjustments provide clarity on how much tax individuals are expected to pay based on their income level and residency status.
